A 3D-animated film about Bhai Taru Singh was released globally on 27 April 2018, directed by Vismaad Singh.
A print representing Singh's martyrdom is present in the 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited, in a scene set in a Sikh temple. On the location today, Gurudwara Shaheed Bhai Taru Singh in Naulakha Bazaar, marks the place where Singh's scalp was removed. The Abdullah Khan Mosque adjacent to the square was also occupied and converted into Shaheed Ganj Gurdwara. In AD 1762, the Bhangi Sikh Sardar army conquered Lahore and took over the public square where Singh was scalped. Upon hearing that he had outlived the Khan, Bhai Taru Singh let go of his breath on his own will on 1 July 1745. Although it would cure Khan of his condition, he died 22 days later from having hit himself with the shoes, just as Singh predicted. It was suggested that if Khan hit himself with Singh's shoes, his condition might be lifted.
As a last resort, Khan sent an apology to the Khalsa Panth for his persecution of Sikhs and begged for forgiveness. According to Sikh sources, after cutting Singh's scalp, Zakaria Khan was stricken with unbearable pain and the inability to urinate. According to prominent early Sikh historian Ratan Singh Bhangu, in response to having his scalp torn off, Taru Singh cursed Zakaria Khan, saying he would be killed by his shoes. Angered by this, the emperor ordered his scalp be cut off. When the barber attempted to do so, his hair become as strong as iron. Zakaria Khan ordered a barber to cut his hair to deprive him of his power and strength. His reply was through his keshas ('unshorn hair') blessed by Guru Gobind Singh. Īfter a period of imprisonment and torture, Bhai Taru Singh was brought before the Khan and asked him where he got his powers from to undergo all of the agony. Though his sister's freedom was bribed for by the villagers, Singh refused to seek a pardon. Some sources, however, say that a mahant (akin to a 'great priest') was the one to have tipped off Mughal authorities because Bhai Taru Singh was harboring Sikh fighters. An informant reported them to Zakaria Khan and the two were arrested for treason. Singh and his sister gave food and other aid to the gursikhs (devout Sikhs of the Guru). During this time, Sikh revolutionaries were plotting the overthrow of the Mughal governor of Punjab, Zakaria Khan. Upon witnessing Sikh fighters save a poor girl from the clutches of the Mughal oppressors, Bhai Taru Singh decided to become initiated into the Khalsa. Singh was engaged in agriculture at Poolha, Kasur, Lahore District, where he had a small farm and grew maize. He was raised as a Sikh by his widowed mother and had one sister, Tar Kaur.

Baba Siri Chand attended cremation rites of the revered Baba Buddha who expired November 16, 1631, A.D.at Jhanda Raamdas. The first line of Astpadi 17 is attributed to Baba ji who replied with a slight variation his father's verse Sach Mantar:Īad sach, Jugaad sach|| Hai bhe sach, Nanak hosee bhe sach || SGGS||285 Guru ji asked him to contribute to the effort. Baba ji suggested to the Guru that his composition Sukhmani Sahib be lengthened from 16 to 24 Astipadi (section of eight verses). Fifth Guru Arjun Dev also met with Baba Siri Chand at Barath in 1655, to obtain manuscripts for inclusion in the compilation of Adi Granth. He entered a discourse with Fourth Guru Ram Das and bantered with the guru about his long beard during a discussion about the merits of the ascetic life versus the life of a householder. Baba Siri Chand, in turn, visited the Sikh encampments, and settlements, in the year 1636 S.V. Fourth Guru Raam Das visited and bestowed gifts upon Siri Chand at his encampment in Barath during the year 1634 S.V. Baba Gur Ditta son of Sixth Guru Har Govind, who would eventually succeed Siri Chand as head of the Udasi order, requested Siri Chand to break ground at the founding of Kiratpur in 1626. Siri Chand used his influence to help persuade Emperor Jahangir to release Har Govind from imprisonment in Gwalior Fort about 1619. Baba Mohan, eldest son of Third Guru Amar Das followed the example of Siri Chand and led an aesthetic life.
